i have been hearing this news about this influential lawyer having murdered someone over some pathethic vehicular disputes. i mean i had no idea that once i show up in the office two days later, i would learn that that person who has been shot was a dad of someone i know. i mean, that's quite remote. and isolated. and rare. and i feel really bad about it. losing your dad or any loved one for that matter is bad enough. but losing someone due to some "air headedness" is even more bad. its unacceptable. i can feel their pain really. i hope that martin and his family gets justice for their dad's death.
